Alamo Website: The stunning chronicle of David Bowie’s final electrifying performance as Ziggy Stardust in 1973 at London’s Hammersmith Odeon Theater. This feature length film captures the aura surrounding one of the most unusual stars of the contemporary music scene. Framed by a smattering of behind-the-scenes footage, the bulk of this stunning document concerns the actual concert, notable as the final time that Bowie would perform under his alternate persona...an announcement that, at the time, led many fans to mistakenly believe Bowie was retiring altogether.
